6 Download the MirrorOp (Sender) App

• Windows Phone/Windows RT not supported by MirrorOp

1) Make sure your PC/Mac is WiFi-enabled, and connect your PC/Mac to the WiCS-2100

through WiFi. You can find the WiFi network name (SSID) of your WiCS-2100 device on

the standby screen of the projector/display. [Default SSID is WiCS-2100-xxx (xxx are the

last three characters of the MAC ID shown on the bottom of the WiCS-2100)]

Windows Mac

2) Open the browser of your computer, and enter the IP address or the device hostname in

the address bar (URL bar) of the browser. You can find the IP address and hostname on

the standby screen of the projector/display. [Default IP address is 192.168.100.10;

default hostname is WiCS-2100-xxx (xxx are the last three characters of the MAC ID

shown on the bottom of the WiCS-2100)]

3) You can see the “Home” page as below. Click “Portable Software” or “Installer” to

download the portable version or installed version of the MirrorOp (Sender) app for

Windows (Windows 7/8/10) or Mac (macOS 10.9 and above). [Please disable the “Smart

Screen Filter” on the IE browser; otherwise you might not be able to download the app.]

11

WiCS-2100 User’s Manual

Note:

The difference between the portable version and installed version of the MirrorOp

Sender app lies in the following:

(a) The installed version of the MirrorOp Sender app supports the

UoIP (USB over IP)

and SidePad

features of the connected WiCS-2100 device, but the portable

version does not.

[These differences only apply to Windows users.]

• The UoIP feature of the WiCS-2100 allows users to remotely control the

projecting PC from the display using “special” hand gestures. (Special hand

gestures are used in some game apps and interactive whiteboard apps.)

• Please be aware that UoIP needs to be enabled in the settings of the MirrorOp

Sender app before you use this function.

[MirrorOp Sender -> ->

Preferences -> Advanced -> (Remote USB Support) -> Simulate as local

USB]

(b)

The portable version of the MirrorOp Sender app can locate and connect to

the target WiCS-2100 device automatically (if your PC/Mac and the

WiCS-2100 are on the same intranet).

Guest users are recommended to

download the portable version as they can start a presentation without any

application installation or device discovery.

(c) Internal users are suggested to download the installed version of MirrorOp Sender

if there are a number of WiCS-2100 devices deployed on their company/school

networks and they need to connect to different WiCS-2100 devices from time to

time. If they use the portable version, the MirrorOp Sender app will automatically

locate the original WiCS-2100 device (via which the MirrorOp Sender app was

downloaded) and they may need to search for their target device manually.

4) If you have installed the MirrorOp Sender app on your computer, you can click “Device

Profile” to download an MOP file. The downloaded MOP file provides a quick way to

connect to a predefined receiver. A user can double click on the MOP file, and it will

connect to the predefined WiCS-2100 device automatically.

8.5 Remote Control/Remote Touch Control (UMT)

WiCS-2100 supports remote control, including remote touch control (UMT). Users can

remotely control the projecting computer from the display via a mouse, keyboard or touch

screen.

Note:

 The UMT (universal multi-touch) function can only support USB HID touch devices

compatible with Windows 7/8/10. Therefore, when the operating system of the sender

device is macOS, touch events on the projector/display screen are translated into

mouse events on the screen of the sender device. [Please be aware that Windows 7

can only provide limited multi-touch capability for specific applications.]

 Each USB port on the WiCS-2100 device can supply up to 5V/0.5A power. Additional

power supply is required if the attached HID device needs more power.
